The flowering specimens, one of which is here figured, had long been ex- 
tensively distributed from Griffith’s Malacca collection as an apparently new 
and remarkable genus, which I first described as such in the ‘ Genera Planta- 
conjectured, I did not venture to unite them. Since that we received from 
the Calcutta Garden, under the name of Sindora Siamensis, a specimen in 
fruit, which at once reminded me of one of Wallich’s Guilandinas, and on 
turning to this specimen (from Singapore), I found it was evidently con- 
specific with Griffith’s plant, with leaflets of the same shape and size. | Con- 
the same tree, with leaves much nearer to those describe by Miquel, whilst 
Siam specimen from Calcutta has the leaflets shaped as in Griffith’s, but 
of the size described by Miquel. Further specimens may therefore show that 
there is but one species, for which Miquel’s name, S. Sumatrana, would have 
to be adopted as the oldest ; the union would, however, at present be 
ture. genus is nearest allied to Copaifera, although abundantly distinct 
in calyx, petals, and stamens, and in the prickles of the pod.—G. Brntuam.
